I took that seat so long ago
It broke me up inside.
To see all life around me
Yet I stood outside.

This tree it was my only friend
Under it I sit.
To all who glanced who laughed and stared.
As I was unfit.

Days of shadow, days of light
So many years passed by.
Climbing through the branches
The tree blocked all my sky.

Searching through the branches
Under all the leaves.
Searching for some sign of life
Lonesome? I’m deceived.

One day there was another
She was always there.
Her call was from the other side
But go there, should I dare?

This tree it seemed so lifeless
It brought me only pain.
But when my heart was joined with hers
True love was my first gain.

This tree it was our everything
It’s all that we did know.
Yet hand in hand we left that life
And on our way we go.

This tree has brought us many things
Fear and guilt and pain.
Although there's one it did not see
A love which will sustain.

We took the axe and cut it down
The wood no longer wrong.
For with it now we built a home
In which we both belong.
